It's something difficult to explain, after lots and lots of hours I've spent listening to what they say and mostly don't say on the subject, it's still unclear, I wouldn't now say it is a chosen damaging policy at least when it comes to culture, no doubt though that on the economic side it's clearly a choice that privileges spoliation (cannot deny that for Corsica and Basque Land).
What I don't come up with yet is do they know or is it just like it was 50 or hundred years ago for more advanced society like today's US.
They say quite easily, they aren't killing anyone or committing formal crimes, their mindset doesn't allow them to think beyond what the appearances show... they are no state death squad so....you know, too bad!
For some others, it's different though they really still think, yes I know, today?...!! Well yes, there is some kind of legitimacy in stepping, regardless of the violence it does represent, in the history of these communities, to them they're educating them, they truly think they detain some kind of cultural "superiority", they act like they haven't reach a point of mature development that allows in society parrallel development. When I say I don't know chosen or not and what lead me to think it's an underdevelopment state, it's because you'll never see any large audience public debate on what's the sate today of, an example, Basque language, what has been the damage caused directly and undirectly to the community and what policies could or should be implemented to try to reverse it and strenghen their future. It appears to me but can be wrong, their today's mindset and level of developement prevent them to look after these communities wether they're Corsican, Basque, Breizh and others with an appropriate level of care. Most politicians seems to be still in the conflict zone where eliminating them (intellectually)up to the denial they've ever existed as a people is the only way to secure the regime legitimacy, they act most of the time just like the regime and society are at risk and exposed to destruction. They today confront them like 200 years ago, unable to make any political progress.
What have you been up to?
